Yes you need the thermostats there are 2 to open so you get a complete drain 

Great to know. Thx!

 

You will need 2 gallons of anti freeze

Do you recommend flushing first, and then refilling? Or just drain, refill, then bleed?

 

And a 10 mm socket in order to bleed the system 

You've actually talked me through the bleeding procedure over the phone awhile back. ;)

 

And don't be lazy

Remove the 2 panels that are in front of the radiators 

Also spray some 409 in the front of the radiators 

Then get a stream of low pressure water and from the rear of the radiators push water thru the fins 

You will be surprised how much shit comes forward!

Roger that!
